Dr. Stanley J Farnum DDS

Mercury is an extremely toxic heavy metal that can cause a myriad of symptoms and damage throughout the body. Amalgam (silver) fillings contain about 51% mercury, in a mixture including silver, copper and tin. There is a great deal of controversy regarding possible mercury exposure from amalgam fillings. Over time, it may be possible that mercury in fillings can be released into the body. While silver fillings are considered acceptable by the ADA, when the time comes to have their silver fillings removed, many people want safe removal procedures used to protect them from mercury exposure.

Many people seek out Dr. Farnum for his use of safety protocols when removing amalgam fillings. The process of removing amalgam fillings causes mercury to be released as a vapor. Any dentist can remove mercury fillings, but many leave the patient exposed. Dr. Farnum has pursued education and training regarding strict protocols scientifically developed for the patient's protection during the amalgam removal process. He is one of a few IAOMT accredited dentists. He has the training, experience, and equipment for removing mercury amalgam fillings following accepted safety protocols.
